as much as i agree with you, it is undeniable that we are in the
society and we are also part of the society. to remain indifferent
to the standards perceived by the society requires enormous courage
which i'm sure not everyone can surmount
that being said, i have to agree very much depends on the couple
and their resolve in making the relationship work. this is
especially so since it is a physical difference and in this
situation, i would feel that it's the guy who would have to bear
the brunt of the societal pressure...

You are right, girls prefer taller guys, or at least similiar
height, and there are numerous reasons. People stare, some others
gossip. Can the couple take the unsubconscious pressure? It is
different from age because differences in age cannot be seen, while
height is an obvious issue.
If security is the main issue, there are other ways to give her the
kind of 'secured' feel. My friend's bf is shorter than her, but he
is damn fit.
